Can someone please clarify

1. how long the window is for testing a release candidate,

2. are the registered packages that support 1.2 automatically tested for each new release candidate via CI,

3. what happens after (`alpha`, `beta`, release), and the timing for this?

I could not find this in [https://discourse.julialang.org/t/proposed-release-process-and-schedule/15623/](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/proposed-release-process-and-schedule/15623/)
